Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Plant density affected forage dry matter yield and fresh forage yield of forage corn.
- Intervention effect Leaf area index and crop growth rate of forage corn increased with increasing plant density.
- Intervention effect The highest dry matter yield of forage corn, 16.5 t ha-1, was achieved at the highest plant density.
- Intervention effect The minimum dry matter yield of forage corn, 14.3 t ha-1, was obtained at the lowest plant density.
- Intervention effect Increasing plant density reduced stem diameter, leaf to stem ratio and cob/whole plant ratio of forage corn.
- Intervention effect Tillage systems had significant effects on dry matter yield and fresh forage yield of forage corn.
- Intervention effect Tillage systems had significant effects on stem height and number of leaves of forage corn.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage and reduced tillage gave similar dry matter yields of forage corn (17.1 and 16.2 t ha-1).
- Intervention effect Conventional and reduced tillage gave significantly greater dry matter yield of forage corn than no-tillage (13.8 t ha-1).
- Recommendation The authors recommend a plant density of 130,000 plants per hectare with reduced tillage for forage corn in the study area.
